Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 slices of bread
- 2 tablespoons of butter
- 2 tablespoons of chopped chives
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients and ensure they are fresh and at room temperature.
- Crack the 4 large eggs into a medium mixing bowl, being careful to avoid shell fragments.
- Whisk the eggs thoroughly with a fork or whisk until the yolks and whites are completely combined and slightly frothy.
- Season the egg mixture with salt and freshly ground black pepper, whisking to distribute the seasonings evenly.
- Place a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and add the butter, allowing it to melt and coat the pan's surface.
- Once the butter is melted and slightly bubbling, pour in the whisked eggs.
- Using a spatula, gently stir and fold the eggs continuously, creating soft curds and preventing them from sticking or overcooking.
- Meanwhile, toast the bread slices until they are golden brown and crisp.
- When the eggs are just set but still creamy and slightly wet-looking, remove the skillet from heat.
- Place the toasted bread on serving plates and immediately transfer the scrambled eggs on top of each slice.
- Sprinkle the chopped chives generously over the eggs for added flavor and visual appeal.
- Serve immediately while the eggs are warm and the toast is crisp.
Tips
- Temperature Matters: Always use eggs at room temperature for more even cooking and fluffier results.
- Low and Slow: Cook eggs on medium-low heat to prevent overcooking and maintain a creamy, soft texture.
- Continuous Stirring: Gently fold eggs with a spatula to create soft, delicate curds and prevent burning.
- Season Wisely: Add salt just before cooking to prevent breaking down egg proteins too early.
- Butter is Better: Use real butter for rich flavor and optimal non-stick performance.
- Don't Overcook: Remove eggs from heat when they're still slightly wet - they'll continue cooking from residual heat.
- Fresh Chives Make a Difference: Chop chives just before serving to maximize their flavor and vibrant green color.
- Serve Immediately: Scrambled eggs are best enjoyed hot and fresh, so time your toast and eggs to be ready simultaneously.
